Kids can pan for silver and gold right in their own backyard with this summertime sandbox activity!

You Will Need:

20 or so small rocks

1 Teaspoon each of both silver and gold acrylic paint

Waxed paper and a sealable container

Instructions:
1. To set it up, first place 10 or so small rocks and 1 teaspoon of silver acrylic paint in a sealable container. Shake the container to coat the rocks, then set them on waxed paper to dry.

2. Next, rinse out the container, add another batch of rocks plus 1 teaspoon of gold acrylic paint, and repeat the process.

3. After the rocks have dried completely, bury them in your sandbox and send kids out with toy shovels and sifters to find the treasure.

For a fun game, give kids 1 minute to uncover as many nuggets as they can.
